Note that this movie has an extremely similar plot to that of "They Live by Night", the Nicholas Ray classic, except that this movie has a happy ending. "They Live by Night" was released a year later than this movie, but it was made at around the same time, and I don't know why two movies with such similar plots were made at the same time (and whether there was any question of one being sued by the other). This movie seems to be completely forgotten! If anyone knows more about this movie or its similarities to "They Live by Night", please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Important Added Info: Note that the film distributor "Film Classics" primarily distributed re-releases of major studios in the late 1940s and 1950s, but they DID produce a few of their own movies, including this one. This is the first release of this movie, and it NOT a re-release! Condition: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor fold wear. There were staple holes around the edges of the poster and some smudges and light staining scattered in all of the borders and white background areas. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not address the smudging and light staining in the white background areas. Learn More about condition grades
